Biography

Tennis is always on the lookout for new stars of the future, and in David Goffin, the sport might just have one. The Belgian player was taught to play tennis by his father, Michel, who is a tennis coach at the Barchon Club in Liege, and he idolised Roger Federer when he was growing up. It is perhaps ironic then that Goffin's most memorable moment on the ATP Tour to date came against the Swiss star. Goffin, despite putting up a valiant fight, lost to Federer in four sets at the 2012 French Open.
